An idea, a new information system, project, event or other result of the application of knowledge and skills is relevant and interesting to the authors. Information support allows you to transfer interest from the authors to the social environment, determine social significance and formulate development paths.
Description of the idea
The result of intellectual activity is usually focused on a specific field of application in order to profit, solve a social problem, restore the ecological balance of the territory, change the qualitative or quantitative indicators of objects of public importance. There are many ideas. The most interesting and dynamic are informational.
Not always the author’s proposal is noticeable for his social environment. The result of the author’s creativity always has a unique informational content, in which relevance, novelty and utility indicators are indicated.
The description of the realized idea may be presented in such a way as to provide informational support - the promotion of the idea in the public mind. The technologies for entering the market and working on it for consumer goods have been developed and tested by practice. Maintenance of information systems is a problem.
A lot has been done in the computer world, but each information product from the moment it is used gives new reasons for the further development of the original idea. In addition, operational experience appears, data on defects is accumulated, and consumer opinion is formed.
As a result, the initial description of the idea is updated, which initiates the processes of product modernization, and its information support becomes relevant again.
Simple task: parsing
With the development of the Internet, quantity data has ceased to be relevant, but a noticeable interest has formed in qualitative indicators. Searching for information is a classic task that has to be solved every day. A person constantly collects something, analyzes and makes a decision.
In a practical sense, when you need to make a decision on a specific production or household problem, a person turns to search engines for help: Google, Yandex, Rambler, etc.
Web resources provide the required service. Having many years of experience, developed software and hardware base, these services do not need information support, confidently occupy their niches in the market and in the public consciousness. But do not be mistaken for search engine leaders. Their position is imperfect. Information support for them is still relevant.
A correctly formulated request is a high probability of getting a reliable answer, but reliability is not the goal of modern search engines. A vivid confirmation of this is the numerous parsings of web resources in order to search for the necessary and reliable information.
Parsing HTML is very easy. Hypertext is an extremely formalized text. The problem is that the recognized content of the web resource correctly falls on the search query and is guaranteed to allow you to get the necessary information.
But! Parsing HTML code is a problematic temporary result: the owner of the resource can change the HTML page, and parsing will have to be rewritten again.
Challenge: smart parsing
There is nothing “simpler” than writing self-developing parsing. An algorithm that will adapt in the search process is not such a difficult task. The only question is how to apply recursion, and to what extent to process the HTML page code. The search algorithm will develop and adapt to all pages viewed if they change.
Information support of the “smart parsing” task will probably not become a serious problem, even if there is no possibility of financing an advertising company. It is enough to equip the smart algorithm with a set of knowledge from classical sources (textbooks, books, articles, research reports).
Pupils, students and researchers are a very large market for the tasks of finding reliable information. The leaders of search results do not satisfy here according to the criteria of objectivity and reliability. For them, the main thing is volume, not the quality of the result. The trivial question “Why did the Internet go down as soon as Proxmox VE became Debian” will not have a reliable answer either on Google or on Yandex.
Obviously, in the original search query there is not a word about how to install the product, where to find what and what it is.
Thus, the information support of the Smart Parsing project will not be simple. The thing is that the terms “laid down” and “became” are classic slang, and the problem with installing Proxmox VE is not connected to the Internet in any way outside this virtual machine system. Neither Google nor Yandex will be able to “guess”. The user will have to break down the request into components and independently solve the problem.
For an acceptable and successful promotion of the Smart Parsing project, it will be necessary to build its information support in such a way that the potential consumer understands: Smart Parsing is really able to “understand” the initial request and break it down into the necessary components.
Idea result
The result of any information idea automatically accumulates "accompanying" information. This can be used. Information support for the implementation of the Smart Parsing project can be planned as part of the project. If we are talking about a self-learning algorithm (an algorithm that remembers the search query and search results for further generalization), then who, if not the person, should “learn the algorithm” of the correct behavior?
The given example is indicative in the context of the “eternal” task of finding information. If we take another information system as the subject of analysis, then information support will have to be organized differently.
In all practical cases, when it comes to bringing an information product to the market, one should focus on analogues and classic events - conferences, presentations, promotions. An essential circumstance and the core of any support program and subsequent promotion will be an accurate and reliable declaration of functionality and purpose, which are undoubtedly relevant for social use.
